Extractable soil nutrient effects on feed quality traits of crop residues in the semiarid rainfed mixed crop–livestock farming systems of Southern India

Abstract: In the mixed crop-livestock systems, while general relation among feed quality, productivity and soil nutrient management have been reported, information on the effects of extractable soil nutrients on crop residue (CR) feed quality traits is scarce (e.g. in semiarid regions of Karnataka, India). In view of the increasingly important role of CR as feed components, in these farming systems, generating such information is a relevant research issue for sustainable development. Here, we report the occurrence and s… Show more

“…The implication of such nutrient deficiencies is most often perceived in their impacts on reduced grain production and quality, but the outcome of soil nutrient depletion in crop-livestock faming system in the drylands is far beyond. It affects livestock feed quantity and quality (Haileslassie et al 2011(Haileslassie et al , 2013Blümmel et al 2009a, b). Crop residues are important feed components in the croplivestock systems, and the effects of improved nutrients input on feed availability and feed quality are very important.…”

“…Improved fertilizer inputs affect crop residue yield and the quality. It increases metabolizable energy (ME) productivity (ME ha -1 ) and thereof the potential milk yield ha -1 by as high as 40% (Haileslassie et al 2013). Thus, adding deficient micro and secondary nutrient inputs on crop land positively impacts productivity of the crop production and livestock compartment of mixed crop-livestock farming system and quality of the food and diversity of diets.…”

“…In view of the increasingly important role of crop residue as feed components. the effects of soU health building through nutrient balancing on feed availability and feed quality are very important and show up in potential milk yield per ha by as high as 40% (Haileslassie et at, 2013). The role of soU health building in enhancing food quantity and quality and helping individuals and communities to build sustainable food security is well demonstrated in Karnataka, India .…”
